cyber_crimes Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 How are you able to keep saltwater species in freshwater? I want to see you put a squid in there (that way if it survives I can set up a freshwater squid tank myself lol) BTW I love it mate. All fun and games for craps & giggles...

FC Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 The fish were kept in brakish water and i slowly reduced the salt levels ... Now completly fresh water All seem to be fine and breathing fine .......................... Squid would be AWSOME!!! if i could get my hands on one i will try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benfarrow Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I'm not sure with these fish, but I do know of people selling moray eels as fresh water. This is nothing but cruel as they may survive for a little while in fresh ( while they are young) but this is only short term! I maybe wrong.

FC Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 If that was the case i could always easily reintroduce the salt back into the water .... But thanks for your concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is nothing but cruel as they may survive for a little while in fresh ( while they are young) but this is only short term! I maybe wrong. having spoken to a couple of collectors, these are TRUE freshwater morays, caught in freshwater rivers many kilometres from the sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOG6ON Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Where did you aquire your livestock? Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAL05T Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Be careful with keeping undersized fish that have a legal size limit. A 2cm bream is a fair cry from the legal 25cm limit and you can be done by fisheries for having them unless you can prove they were aquired from an aquaculture centre. A fish and chip shop up this way got fined $3500 a few years ago for their bream, flathead, whiting and luderick collection. Looks sweet though, and I might have to get myself one of those pen rods.

cooder Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 VERY COOL!!! You actually catch your fish on that pen rod? that would be cool! Like the flathead! You should so put some estuary cod in there. theres so many in the creeks near my place that we call them sods! Cooder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
